Hi everyone! My sister Amy and I know the chaos of event planning all too well—coordinating events for 3,000+ students during university taught us how overwhelming calls, emails, and budgets can get. That’s why we built Nowadays, your AI-powered event planning assistant to make organizing corporate events effortless. Since launching in May, we’ve helped teams like Google, Imbue, and Stripe plan over 100 events worldwide, and this launch introduces an all-new set of game-changing tools: - ✈️ Flight Estimator & Bookings: Simplify group travel—compare costs, book flights, and send itineraries that bring together people distributed all over the world. - 💳 Streamlined Payments: Automate deposits and credit card charges for all your bookings. - 📋 Attendee Management: Track details like dietary preferences, check-in dates, and requests in real-time. - 🏢 Venue Tools: Share quotes, import options, and automatically parse & export. - 🗺️ Interactive Maps: Easily find venues accessible from nearby airports, your office, or conference centers. - 🌍 Global Expansion: Discover hotels, restaurants, and event spaces across the globe. 💡 Teams have used Nowadays for events ranging from private dinners for 200 in SF to a 450-person conference in Buenos Aires! Get Started: - Planners: Enjoy 50%+ discounts on all services. - Referrals: Know an event planner? Refer them for a $250 bonus each here: https://www.getnowadays.com/refe...! Let’s chat about making your next event unforgettable! Cheers, The Nowadays Team

@annasun! What is the biggest thing you have planned for 2025? This is super exciting. To readers: Met the founders earlier last year and thoroughly enjoyed meeting them and what they represent. They have the domain expertise to make this a home run!

@pakhzar Such a great question, so much coming up soon! - We’re working on more powerful attendee management tools, allowing groups to pay individually if they’re not under one master bill. - Software for hoteliers to manage their quotations directly within our dashboard. - Onboarding more restaurants and event spaces onto the platform! All with the mission to make planning simple for the companies we work with :)

I've used Nowadays now multiple times over the last year for events with 300+ people (specifically the Democratize Intelligence summit https://x.com/kylejohnmorris/sta... ) I've been hosting. My brain is so chaotic there's virtually no way I'd be on top of finding the right audio/video team, getting posters, food, and booking venues for dinner. They simplified this process for me so I can focus on getting sponsors, speakers, and the right people in the room - which is the core of what a good event is. I find all the other ops work as critically important but distracting from getting the right people in the room and so knowing I have Nowadays gives me a chance to relax and focus. Shoutout to the team for enabling more great events in the world!
Anna Sun ☀️
@morriscode Really appreciate the shoutout, Kyle! It’s been amazing working with you and your team—some of the best events with such high-quality conversations! Partnering with you to explore what’s possible has been awesome, and I’m looking forward to the future events we’ll collaborate on! :)

Danny Sheridan
Currently in Costa Rica on a nowadays planned trip? Flights for 12, 2 big houses next to each other, private chef service 2x per day, and even tennis/pickle reservations. Planning a team offsite isn’t our core competency. Luckily, it’s Anna and Amy’s! 😀
Anna Sun ☀️
@danny_sheridan The offsite in Costa Rica looks amazing! I’m so glad we could help you get there. Excited to collaborate on future events—enjoy the ☀️!
Justin Bush
Event planning can be such a time sink, especially for small teams trying to juggle it alongside everything else. The way Nowadays simplifies the process and takes the stress off planners is exactly what the industry needs. Excited to see how this transforms corporate event planning—congrats to the team!
Anna Sun ☀️
@jbush Exactly! That’s the problem we’re aiming to solve. We’re excited to continue making events more accessible with Nowadays and to help teams of all sizes!”
Jonni Lundy
As a small, fully-remote team, Nowadays has been an amazing partner to turn the offsite planning chaos into calm.

Congrats! Is Nowadays also suitable for daily events outside of the corporate, such as campus events, parties with friends?
Anna Sun ☀️
@focusaur Thank you! Great question, we are focused on corporate events, but we've had some users actually use the product for their own weddings or for family gatherings! We currently just require a minimum spend of $20K to guarantee a spot on our platform :)

Can't wait to use this for our next retreat
